The Polisario is looking for a small symbolic victory. After several failed invitations to MINURSO for a meeting in the «liberated territories», Brahim Ghali has complained to Antonio Guterres.
The head of MINURSO Alexander Ivanko, informed the Security Council on Tuesday that the Polisario Front had rejected his proposal for a ceasefire during Ramadan. Ivanko, a Russian diplomat, also briefed the Council on the Polisario's response to concerns raised about missile strikes near MINURSO observation points.
